(no subject)

Characters: Waver Velvet and open
Setting: Floors 14, 45, 19 and 43 or anywhere else
Format: Starting with action but I can match
Summary: Waver's been in the tower for twenty years and become a grumpy bum. Replies will come from [personal profile] achillean
Warnings: Nothing really, I don't think.


Floor 14
[Is there really someone sitting in front of a tv with a Playstation controller in hand...in boxers and an undershirt? Yup, there sure is. And that person is Waver. Poor posture and everything. Although it might be hard to some to recognise him as Waver Velvet at first, as he's aged twenty years. His hair grown out past his waist, and being nearly a foot taller are the major points. Care to join? Sure you do.]


Floor 45
[Waver stands at the windows, looking out to the clouds as he thinks. The faceless creatures occasionally watch him, but he pays it no mind, and even chuckles to himself in thinking of his first day in the tower and how afraid he had been. Looking down at what little of the world below he can see through the clouds is a good way to problem-solve, or work out a plan for his next lesson, letting his mind wander. Today, though, he's thinking about what his life could have been outside the tower. Remaining with Rider and those he had met in the Tower of Animus certainly did him good, but if it all had never happened, where would he be? There's no use in wishing for that, or to go home, he's seen the ruins of his world firsthand now. But the thought is an interesting one nonetheless, and something difficult to turn away from. Especially when he's now spent longer in the tower than he'd spent at home.]


Floor 19
[An average day for Waver has always involved plenty of reading. Finding very few other spots in which he can concentrate without being bothered by the tower, or people in the tower, he sits in the library with a magic text of his own. He jots down notes in a notebook as he goes. There are enough magi in the tower to bounce his ideas off of from time to time, as he still strongly believes study can create a great magus. These days it's all a matter of getting any new books from home. Luckily he's received a few at Christmas from the administrators, and has several others piled up on the table. Although a nearly tattered copy of The Iliad sits among them. He's also lighted a cigar and sits with it in his mouth almost the entire time, with no regard for the fact that a library probably isn't the best place to be smoking.]


Floor 43
[In the evening, Waver takes a plate of food up to the cells, as he thinks Ryuunosuke has been locked in one for some time, and can't allow him to starve in there and end up free again. He carries it nonchalantly through the tower, taking the elevator to floor 41 and walking the rest of the way. But when he gets there, and sees the cells all empty, the doors simply hanging open, he drops the plate, sending it crashing to the ground.]

Shit--

[Had someone let Ryuunosuke out? He has to find him right away, before he can hurt anyone, any of the children he tutors.

He can be found all around the tower, desperately looking for the one he should be watching, and cursing under his breath the whole time.]

[How can he ignore it. Waver seriously. He'll... try to keep quiet as long as he can, since the time for policing other peoples' outfits has long since passed, but the urge is still strong.

But even stronger is his INTENSE LOVE OF STRATEGY GAMES.

I... don't believe I've actually played this one yet... How is it?

[IT SURE LOOKS... classic.]

It's great, one of the best military strategy games around. Or that we have here, anyway.

...It has multiplayer, you know.

[And he nudges a second controller closer with his foot.]

[AW YEAH he is so ready to play.

Wait, no he's not--!
]

Is it competitive? You have to let me read the instruction book first!

[Don't do it, Waver, he will go through the entire thing.]

[nah it's cool, man, he'd do the same.]

Of course, it's in the case. If you have any questions, speak now or forever hold your peace.

[He holds up the game case to pass to Ishimaru.]
eyebrowsareforever: (I was being optimistic there)

[Shh. He's going to take the book and read it in INTENSE SILENCE for several minutes.]

. . .

[He veeeery gently and calmly puts it back in the box, then delicately picks up the controller. Okay, time to be SUPER SERIOUS.]

I'm ready! Let's do this!

[In the meantime Waver had lit up a cigar, which he puts out in an empty glass beside him. Save that for later.]

You're sure? Don't claim inexperience when you're beaten now.

That would be the reason...!

[Maybe he should study the rulebook ONE MORE TIME... Nah, he should learn from some hands-on experience, too.]

Just start it!
